As mentioned on v1, I don't think this should be done in Linux at all.

If you wish to handle this dynamically, please fixup the DT *before*
entering Linux.

If you want a sane default in the dts file, put status = "disabled" on
all nodes which the secure world might take ownership of.

Thanks,
Mark.
